Authorities in Denver have identified the 66-year-old victim of a homicide who was found dead Feb. 4 in a northwest Denver home.

Francis “Frank” Canham was pronounced dead at the home on the 2600 block of Java Court, the Denver Medical Examiner reported. Police smelled gasoline and found burnt matches and paper near his body, according to Gonzales’s arrest affidavit.

The cause and manner of death are pending the completion of an autopsy, officials said.

Daniel J. Gonzales, 31, was arrested in Orlando, Fla., on suspicion of first-degree murder on Thursday in connection with Canham’s slaying after police were able to trace a bus ticket purchase made with Canham’s credit card, the arrest affidavit said.

Canham was found dead by officers responding to a welfare check at about 10:30 a.m. after Canham had not shown up for his part-time job at an accounting office, the affidavit said.

When police arrived at the home, they found Canham deceased in a front room. His body had been dragged through the dining room and living room, the affidavit said.

Detectives also were able to connect Gonzales to the death through a fingerprint on a basement window at the Java Court house and by surveillance video from stores where Gonzales allegedly purchased the gas can and matches, the affidavit said.

The FBI and police in Orlando nabbed Gonzales on a Greyhound bus, Denver authorities said. Gonzales allegedly bought an online bus ticket on Feb. 3 from Denver to Miami with Canham’s credit card, the affidavit said.

Authorities have not said whether Canham and Gonzales knew each other.

Gonzales is being held at the Orange County Jail in Florida, records show.
